Purchased a switch for parts, need opinions on the exact problem
In summary:
-switch was stuck on boot logo, couldn’t enter recovery mode.
- I drained the battery to see if that would be the solution
-battery would not charge
-no shortage on any capacitors
-USB port looks to be in good condition, no bent pins
Previous owner could charge with a 30W Mac Charger, I can’t charge it with an OEM Switch Charger directly to switch. I’ve tried all troubleshooting solutions available on YouTube (remove joycons, hard reset, etc.)
I don’t have a USB output meter, so unable to test power draw.
My assumption:
Battery problem, and bricked software.
Ordered RCM jig, and battery. Once it arrives will update.
Any thoughts on what the problem could be?
